Gurugram, December 29
The Kabaddi Champions League brought a wave of excitement and energy as personalities from the worlds of professional kabaddi, para-sports and fitness gathered for a press conference, followed by the League's highly anticipated player auction.
The event, which blended celebration, inspiration, and spirited conversation, set the stage for an unforgettable inaugural season, according to a KCL release.
The event opened with voices that represent the diverse heart of Indian sport and fitness. Brand ambassadors and kabaddi legends Mohit Chhillar and Rajesh Narwal then took the stand, energising the room with their belief in the League and its impact on the sport.
Mohit Chhillar spoke with experience to inspire the next-gen players. "Every young kabaddi player I've met wants a chance to prove themselves on a big stage. KCL is giving that chance to them by providing a platform where their dedication will meet their passion, and where the future of kabaddi will continue to strengthen."
Rajesh Narwal reflected on what kabaddi as a sport stands for and said,"Kabaddi has always been more than a game for me, it's about showing courage, connection and collective pride. After years of playing, I now see that pride reflected in every person present here. Kabaddi Champions League isn't just here to build teams, it's here to build stories for generations to come."
Adding his voice next was para javelin thrower Navdeep Singh Sheoran, who brought his own perspective on dreams and determination. "Sport teaches you that limits are meant to be challenged, not accepted. Seeing so much talent and passion here tonight reminds me that every athlete deserves a stage to shine and Kabaddi Champions League is all about making dreams turn into reality for such raw talent," he shared, his presence underscoring the inclusive spirit of the event.
Along with the sporting stars, Fitness influencer Ankit Baiyanpuria spoke about kabaddi's appeal beyond the mat, with how the sport is a perfect blend to stay fit. "Kabaddi shows what the human body and mind can do when they work together. It's raw, intense, and helps you find a solid strength from within when everyone works together. Kabaddi Champions League is bringing that spirit to a new high, and I'm honoured to be here for it," he said.
With the atmosphere amping up with motivation, inspiration and immense passion, the stage is ready for the most awaited moment - the auction, where every bid defines the winning team of the inaugural season of KCL.
